2 year analysis: year analysis: 28 events events 4.1 (Science 342, 2013) (PRL, 113, , 2014) track-like events 1o angular resolution muon takes some energy away total expected background: 11 events cascade-like events 10 - 45 angular resolution 15% visible energy reconstruction Best fit (per flavor): highest energy event@ 2 PeV cutoff at ~2.3 PeV ? bigbird 0.95 0.3 10-8 E-2 GeV cm-2 s-1 sr-1 9 A source near the Galactic Center?
Hypothesized Galactic Source ? Gonzalez-Garcia et al,APP 57 (2014) Point Source at (,)=(79, 23): = 6 x 10-8 E-2 GeV cm-2 s-1 ANTARES excludes single point source (E-2 spectrum) as origin of the cluster within 20 off GC Astrophys. J. Lett. 786:L5 (2014) ANTARES has upper bounds
For different energy spectra E-G:(similar method using the Aeff) Results The ANTARES 90% C.L. upper limit excludes that a single point-likesource produces np>5 HESE, assuming G=2.0. A single point-like source yielding np>2 is excluded for G=2.3 A clusters made of np 2 is excluded for G> 2.3. AGNs close to Ernie and Bert?

1. IceCube, arXiv: Observed flux level is exceptionally high at a level of the Waxman-Bahcall bound which applies to neutrino production in sources that are also responsible for UHECRs PeV photons accompanying IceCube neutrinos are the source of all high energy photons is consistent with the Fermi measurement of the extragalactic flux 2. Neronov & Semikoz, arXiv: Strongly dependant on the spectral index. ANTARES Diffuse Neutrino Searches
